[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 112397, member: 9521"] I agree with Jack, it really is more designed for tablets but it does offer a few additional goodies for desktops. For one, it's a new and faster OS and is not layered upon earlier DOS coding. It also handles graphics slightly different than Windows 7 so you can extend your DIMM's a little further. In addition, you can now stack some 512 gigbytes of memory whereas Windows 7 the max is 16 gig (unless you have Windows 7 pro). Also, it has better security features than 7 and offers an in-house bitlocker encryption program. But truth be told, if this upgrade would have cost me more than $25, I wouldn't have opted to upgrade. But at $14.99 I figured I might as well. [/QUOTE]
